Morning All,

Slowly recovering from a night of drinks and hi jinx (and a terrifying bar bill!). Would highly recommend the Booking Office bar in Kings Cross if you're ever in London and fancy sipping gin cocktails in Art Deco inspired surrounds.

Good morning everyone, so I'm going to try to get back into things here. I'm sorry I've been really busy and sick on and off so I haven't been able to be on as much as I should be. I'm wearing Robert Piguet's Fracas today to my first day working as a Cashier at Kmart not the most glamorous of Jobs but it's a start.

Happy Independence Day, Lucas!

Joining G. in No.5 today, current EDP. Off to brunch with my SIL and niece (who also happens to be my little BFF) and then back to work on this old house. Don't know if there's an end in sight with this re-model some days!

Re: SotD Sunday, 11th November 2012

Good for you Beauxbatons13! I agree with Twolf...bring your own glamor into work and put your best foot forward.

SotD: I'm just now trying a combination of two comfort fragrances, applied to my left wrist: 2 dabs of Prada by Prada EDP (2004) + 1 spray of Bottega Veneta by Bottega Veneta EDP. Oh, this is beautiful! Can't wait to see how it develops and dries down.

Have a great Sunday all.

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

I'm in Mille de Patou, and it's playing beautifully with the fragrance of real tea olives starting to bloom all over the French Quarter. Y'all have a wonderful day!

Lucas - Happy Independence Day! Hooray for Poland!

And Happy Veterans Day, USA!

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...Carl Sagan

Re: SotD Sunday, 11th November 2012

Yes, congrats to Beauxbatons on the job! I concur on all of the glamour related comments-- and I'll bet Kmart has never had such a pretty and fabulously fragranced cashier, so you already made it glamorous, baby!

Re: SotD Sunday, 11th November 2012

Good evening peeps, i am a bit late to the game

YOU ALL smell lovely this Sunday.....

I was wearing Vanilia, this is my favourite weekend scent, and testing too many :-)

First time ever tried Tom Ford on skin it was Amber absolute, very beautiful amber, not like Amber fetiche from Annick G. Which is so bitter dry, this one is resinous smoky vanillic and classy, for women

Then exclusive Guerlain Coquine, its sweet chocolate boozy scent,gourmand, that reminds me of some summer tanning creams although doesn't smell cheap at all, or banal, in the dry down becomes more like Cuir Beluga

And finished all with green spicy, herbaceous Bazaar from Profumo.it, as counterbalance to the sweetness of the day, Bazaar is a nice composition, with some incense and something fresh green, complex spices that are not too sweet, nor strong, the overall feel is like the one i get from yatagan! But more sweet and naturally dense

Re: SotD Sunday, 11th November 2012

Wow, CN, you are wearing my hubby's holy grail! And incidentally I am in another creation from Maestro Serge tonight - Cedre. How is Fumerie treating you? It wasn't very kind to me at all . I do hope it will make you feel better.

Evangeline - thank you so much for remembering veterans today. Mr. WF sure appreciates it .

Thanks for the kind thoughts Kalli and WF!

Fumerie Turque was delicious and comfy today! I stole a few sprays of from bf's bottle. It is funny how manly it smells on him, but it is soft and wonderful and perfectly feminine on me... I think!!!

Re: SotD Sunday, 11th November 2012

Hello dear BNers -- I hope Sunday has treated you well. Been feeling contemplative on this Veterans' Day...counting my blessings and working on how to get past the challenges. 2012 has been an odd year, it seems.

For an afternoon of shopping with a dear friend, I wore TF Neroli Portofino. Such a nice fragrance, but it is long gone...will probably settle into something beautiful and comforting...
